1. What is a copyright infringement appraisal report?
The purpose of the copyright infringement appraisal report is to analyze and record the copyright infringement situation and relevant evidence in detail. Copyright infringement appraisal reports are usually written by legal experts or professional appraisal institutions to support claims in litigation or resolve copyright disputes. The content includes the originality of the work, the comparative analysis of the infringement allegation, the possibility of access, the legal basis, the damage assessment, etc., to provide professional opinions and evidence support for judging whether infringement is constituted.

The appraisal of copyright infringement is the core of copyright dispute cases, and experts will write an appraisal report of copyright infringement based on their professional knowledge, and the judge will consider the appraisal opinions as the basis for the judgment of the infringement case.
